The list looks familiar to anyone who looked at the 2012 data. In addition to Washington taking number 1 both this year and last, Seattle again took the second spot as it did in 2012, while Minneapolis held onto third place.

Atlanta, which was at number eight last year, tied with Pittsburgh, so Miller had the two cities take the fourth and fifth spots.

Miller compiles the data from such information as the number of libraries and bookstores in a city, as well as access to the Internet, newspaper circulation numbers, the highest level of schooling finished by the residents, and other sources.

Miller told USA Today he’s planning on studying the world next year and compiling a list of the most literate countries.
